A yesha Takia, who was applauded for her non-glamorous role in Nagesh Kukunoor's Dor, is all set to enthral audiences this time as a dubbing artiste in Rohit Shetty's forthcoming venture Sunday. The actress says it has been one of the most difficult shoots she has ever faced. "It was also embarrassing because this role was not about looking pretty. I had to do the dubbing scenes and create different voices and make faces while trying to extract these sounds. It was a role where I needed to get over my inhibitions. I told the director that I don't want to see the monitor after the scenes were canned," she says.
Ayesha adds, "I had to work on the character to get different expressions and be louder than my normal self to sound like cartoon characters, especially while mimicking Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse. I have to thank my trainer Vikas and Rakesh, the assistant director of the film. I wouldn't have been able to do this without their help."
Did she watch a lot of car toons as part of her research for the character? "Yes, that was the best part of my role. I relived my childhood during those days. I normally don't watch cartoons, so it was a little shocking for my parents when they walked into my room and saw me watching them. They gave me a funny look and I had to tell them that it was part of the role." In her first comedy, Ayesha has been pitted against Ajay Devgan, Arshad Warsi and Irrfan Khan. Was she nervous to work with senior actors? "Yes of course. There was a particular scene which I had with Ajay and Irrfan and I had a lengthy monologue. It was a dramatic scene where I do all the talking and Ajay and Irrfan are listening to me. I was very nervous. I wanted to do my best since they are great actors and far more senior. I didn't want to overact or be loud. It has turned out to be the best scene in the film," says Ayesha. She also says that the best part of the filming process was working under no pressure despite the demanding role. "I felt like one of the boys on the sets.
It was a very challenging, yet relaxing shoot.
Rohit is a very straight-to-the-point kind of person. Ajay keeps to himself, and Irrfan is an introvert."
